In an interview with Esquire, Denzel Washington described his wine consumption as a gradual habit that began subtly but escalated over time, fueled by his extensive wine cellar.

He said:

“Wine is very tricky. It’s very slow. It ain’t like, boom, all of a sudden.

“And part of it was we built this big house in 1999 with a ten-thousand-bottle wine cellar, and I learned to drink the best. So I’m gonna drink my ’61s and my ’82s and whatever we had. Wine was my thing, and now I was popping $4,000 bottles just because that’s what was left. And then later in those years I’d call Gil Turner’s Fine Wines & Spirits on Sunset Boulevard and say, Send me two bottles, the best of this or that.

“I’m sure at first it was easy because I was younger. Two months off and let’s go. But drinking was a fifteen-year pattern. And truth be told, it didn’t start in ’99. It started earlier..”
